Waterfall - Have a subtotal for first few categories and then have total at end?

Hi,

 

I have a waterfall chart where I'm starting from last year's revenue and having different categories to walk to my current revenue. 

In the chart below, is there a way to have subtotal of Prior Revenue and Categories 1 to 4 and have it show before Category 5? Basically I want a bar in between Category 4 and 5 below as a subtotal of everything before it. Sample data also included below.

It is possible but you need to use custom visuals and you need to massage your data accordingly.

Might be easier to do with Deneb.

Thanks for posting this. Solved my issue
I am not sure how but when I used your file and copied your visual then I get the "Define Pillars" option but when I had used the same custom visual myself I was not getting that option under formatting. Did you do something differently in the dataset or settings to enable it?

Yes, I had to modify your data. Please check the Power Query transforms in the attached pbix.

Yes I checked that and I had the same data format but still was not seeing the Define Pillars option. It's a mystery
